Hello!
I have been told many times that I need to join retro rides by messers Randywanger and luckyseven and today is the day I have finally got some time to get on a computer!
I am the sometimes proud, though mostly just irritated, exasperated and generally want to take a hammer to him, owner of Ralph. He is a 1974 Mazda RX4 with an Oldone rebuilt and bridge ported 12a heart, 4speed RX4 gear box, webber carb, rear drum brakes, leaf suspension as old as he is and, currently, only half an exhaust! :/
He is a difficult, cantakerous old git of a car who refuses to be tamed (by that I mean work in any way) but he will not win and IS going to be back on the road soon or the hammer idea might just win through!! On the bright side he does pose well for a piccie.....
Last pic shamelessly stolen from Nik (luckyseven)
I am also lucky enough to b the foster mum of impy, the frankly insane rotarised hillman imp that belongs to Randywanger on here.....drove him around the the car park yesterday for about a minute.....which was just long enough for him to remind me that death is the only truly likely outcome of attempting to travel anywhere in him! Driving him can honestly only be described as giving you an equal mix of pure adrenaline and pure terror!!
Look forward to having a nose around people's cars on here
